Hi, Paolo,
How about change kvm_supported_xss() as below so that CPUID[0xd,1] check
is implied in host_xss contents, vmx_supported_xss() now just returns host_xss
in vmx.c. The purpose of this change is to make XSS data check
common for other XSS based features.

+u64 kvm_supported_xss(void)
+{
+ return KVM_SUPPORTED_XSS & kvm_x86_ops->vmx_supported_xss();
+}
